The India EOR that owns the entity. Not a reseller.

Capital locked up before anyone starts. Name approval, DIN, DSC, MCA incorporation, then PF and ESI codes, and only then can you make an offer.

PF, ESI and TDS deadlines do not move. A single late deposit sits on the EPFO portal permanently, and acquirers read that page during diligence.

Someone you never signed with holds your compliance. The company that employs your engineer is a local partner two contracts away from you.

Recruiter, payroll provider, compliance consultant. One stack, three vendors, and no one who owns the outcome end to end.

You explain your team from scratch every time. We keep the same account manager, recruitment coordinator and finance associate from your first hire onward.

An Employer of Record hires your employee on its own Indian entity, so you can hire without incorporating. Most global EORs rent a local partner. We are the Indian entity, Foo Falcon Technologies Pvt Ltd, so your people sit on our own PF registration, ESIC code and Shops and Establishments licence.

Yes. CIN U72900KA2022PTC163007, GSTIN 29AAFCF1167M1Z9, ESI code 50000643140000911, registered in Basavanagudi, Bengaluru. Every one is checkable on a government register in three clicks.

Five working days from brief to first payslip cycle. Day 1 the agreement and offer letter are drafted, days 2 to 4 the contract and PF plus ESI registration are handled, day 5 payroll is scheduled.

A filing specialist runs every cycle on our registrations: PF at 12% of basic plus DA, ESI at 3.25% employer share where applicable, TDS deposited by the 7th, and professional tax by state. Zero compliance notices since founding.

Yes, and there is no exit fee. We transfer employment records, tenure and statutory history to your entity when you are ready, with no gap in PF or ESI continuity.

None of the three. The first month is free, the monthly fee is the whole bill, and you can leave whenever you want.

One invoice a month in your currency, with the statutory breakdown, the payroll register and the FX rate shown on it.

Yes, if that hire is in a technical or specialized role where compliance and speed are critical. If you just need a contractor or temp worker, an EOR might be overkill. But for long-term, compliant employment in India, Versatile is built exactly for first hires and teams scaling to 100+.

We don't guarantee tenure—no EOR can. But we do: full background checks, referee calls, and shortlist only candidates who've been vetted against a role benchmark used by other Versatile teams. If someone leaves early, you pay 50% of the recruitment fee, not the full 12%.

We're not an alternative to Deel—we're focused only on India, while Deel serves 150+ countries. For India: Deel charges $450–$600/mo per employee. Versatile charges $129–$149/mo, and we own the entity (no reseller markup). If you only hire in India and need recruitment, we're 3–4x cheaper and faster. If you need multi-country hiring, Deel is the right tool.
